Accomplished Scholar and Author Gives Lecture at Yeshiva University

Leonard Grunstein, Revel Graduate School board member, attended a lecture and book launch at Yeshiva University. Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff, accomplished professor of rabbinic literature at Yeshiva University’s Caroline and Joseph S. Gruss Institute in Jerusalem presented the lecture to celebrate the re-issuing of two of his previously published biographies.

A scholar and author Rabbi Rakeffet’s books, The Silver Era: Rabbi Eliezer Silver and His Generation, and Bernard Revel: Builder of American Orthodoxy, were the result of his doctoral dissertation at the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies. The lecture specifically celebrated the relaunch of the biography of Bernard Revel, which is being re-issued by the OU Press with the inclusion of a new introduction by chairman of the Revel Board of Overseers, Mordecai D. Katz, Esq.

Thanks to Rakeffet’s research, both biographies give readers a glimpse into the lives of these two important leaders while simultaneously detailing the history of Orthodox Judaism in America. Both men are recognized for their dedication to the Jewish people.
